Well, the real issue isn't during the day, which we don't allow him to have during that time. He just happened to see it sitting out and wouldn't let me take the photo without it. He can't seem to fall asleep without it, and if he wakes up in the middle of the night and can't find it, he screams and wakes us up. He sleeps terribly as it is, so we just let him have it at night to make things easier. I guess were just going to have to bite the bullet and have some sleepless nights for a while.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
